About the Thistle City Barbican

Overview

This hotel is a smart choice if you want to explore the arts and shopping highlights of central London, as well as sampling the alternative nightlife. The Thistle City Barbican boasts a top London City location, close to the Barbican Centre in fashionable Clerkenwell and a ten-minute walk from Old Street underground station. This is the gateway to Hoxton Square and the trendy East End, whilst also giving easy access to the rest of London via the Tube. Unlike other city centre hotels, the Thistle City Barbican has a health and fitness club that guests can use for free. A luxurious indoor pool, steam room, sauna, gym and sun bed will have you relaxed and glowing in no time.

With two bars on site, you’ll be spoilt for choice when you have your first catch-up drink with the girls. Have a pre-dinner Gin Sling in the hotel’s CoMotion bar before heading into 120 Central Brasserie for supper, choosing from British classics such as homemade pies or grilled fish. The bedrooms are immaculately furnished with plump beds, LCD TVs and toiletries in the en-suite bathrooms. The 24-hour room service menu is brilliant for night owls, with a freshly cooked breakfast served each morning in the brasserie.
